    Lithgow's F90 Atrax

    I must say, I've always had an interest in the Steyr AUG family of rifles, and this forthcoming version has me intrigued. What do you guys think of it? I think it has some great upgrades to the basic AUG design....wondering what others have heard about it

    I personally would prefer this version with the smaller buttstock and STANAG mag compatibility.

    I have 4 thoughts:
    1) giving up the quick detach barrel is a huge strike for me. Its one of the things I love about the AUG
    2) Given the problems that the Aussies had making Augs, buying a US civilian variant of a gun that was less than stellar in its military variant seems risky to me.
    3) ITs Ugly.
    4) It isn't a precision rifle, so if you want more traffic, I'd move it to the other section where evil black rifles are discussed.

    If a large number of people are willing to kill you for saying something, then it probably really needs to be said. .

    Is this the same Lithgow that made the .303 Enfield?

    There is a lot that I like about it. Smaller size, lighter weight, better trigger and lack of quick change barrel. Other then the cool factor what good is a quick change barrel on an AUG? You are not going to get longer sight radius and I really doubt that a longer barrel will give much more velocity with that gas system. I would like to see how well Lithgow does with this?? Hopefully better than MSAR.

    I like it

    I would like to see a stock made for the standard AUG that incorporates the improved mag release of the NATO Atrax.

    I don't care for it. Already own several AUG's so this would be a niche item.
